174506 - Numero sign (№) not displayed correctly in some font faces

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Layout: Text and Fonts, defect)

Description

[Greg K.]

Mozilla won't display the Unicode numero sign (hex 2116) in the specified font
when the glyph is plainly available.

In the example URL, the numero sign should display in TITUS Cyberbit Basic
(download and install the font), since it contains that glyph, but Mozilla
insists on displaying it in another face.

(Note that it works fine in old builds that contain bug 121540's ATSUI patch.)

Mac Issue -> nhotta

Comment 3

[Greg K.]

Hm. Now, using FizzillaCFM/2002103011 on 10.1.5, this appears to work.

Comment 4

[Greg K.]

No, scratch that, it appeared to work once, but now doesn't.

Comment 5

[Greg K.]

This no longer seems to be a problem now running OS X 10.2.2.

Comment 6

[Greg K.]

Though the numero sign does now seem to display in the right face using
FizzillaCFM/2002110808 on OS X 10.2.2, there are still some other problems with
this glyph about which I'll attach a new testcase momentarily.

Comment 9

Problem still evident using FizzillaMach/2003-04-19-08-trunk. Changing Component
to Layout: Fonts and Text, but leaving assigned to nhotta per comment 2.

Appears fixed using Camino/2007010201 (1.2+), probably due to Cairo.
